Hello, some people are misinterpreting the point I made about creative people being underpaid so I just want to elaborate !! People within the creative community (freelance artists, designers, editors) are routinely underpaid for their work because there’s very little transparency in the creative industry as most fees are negotiated privately. This means that many have to figure out how much to charge on their own, and don’t often know whether it’s enough or too much. This can lead to huge discrepancies between freelance creatives in terms of fees, with people getting paid massively differing amounts for the same job. This is where a bit of transparency can help everyone earn a fair amount, by sharing fees and commission rates more widely: people can better understand what their labour is worth and be paid fairly. This can also apply to UA-camrs with brand deals. It’s quite well known that many creators (especially smaller creators) are exploited by brands because the creator doesn’t know what they should be charging. There are also deeper layers to this where we routinely see black creators being paid less than white creators for the same social reach because brand deals are done in private and set rates aren’t established. Creators don’t know what they should be charging unless they have a friend at a similar level to help them navigate it. This is why lots of companies target masses of smaller/growing UA-camrs to promote products: they know that these creators are less likely to know their worth. “Underpaid” is relative, but ultimately it doesn’t matter if a creator is charging $50 or $50,000 - if their advertising space is worth more, they should be paid more. The lack of transparency harms the entire industry because it directly benefits the advertisers whilst exploiting the creators. Whilst no one should complain about getting paid huge amounts for an ad read, and you can’t really argue that $50K is truly “underpaid”: it is still important to recognise that advertisers should be paying consistent and fair rates for the reach that creators offer them. Hope this helps further explain the point I was making!! 💙
I appreciate the transparency. Talking about income, regardless of career, is the only way to hold employers/platforms accountable for inequalities in payroll. I don’t want more of what happened with the Twitch data leak, but if more people could come forward and be candid I think it would help.
Yes!! This is exactly what I was trying to say at the beginning. Creative people are so routinely exploited, whether they’re artists or editors or designers because so much of their freelance work is negotiated privately. It leaves so much room for exploitation. I completely agree with you!! A little bit of transparency can go a long way! ❤️
@@Ellbat absolutely! I’m sure the problem is exacerbated in private freelance projects, cuz art is subjective and non-artists don’t know or care what work it takes. Even in the medical cannabis industry, there are often illegal “rules” about not sharing your income with coworkers. Anti-union red flags left and right
When you mentioned the time of year increasing the amount you get paid, I realized that may be why Vlogmas is a thing, channels are pumping out videos everyday in December leading up to Christmas
Thanks Elbat. I’m going to share this with all my students who plan to use their new bachelor’s degree to become UA-camrs. It really was helpful. And don’t feel bad about making your own money. That’s not being privileged; it’s being compensated. Keep it up.
"youtube really has a thing for feet" - this is not new information, but it does continue to make me worry mildly about where we are headed as a collective society
hi ellbat! i would love to see a video about your process of becoming a twitch streamer and also how revenue is generated on Twitch as compared to UA-cam. This video was really helpful to me as someone who is starting content creation!
I actually made a video breaking down my monthly twitch earnings and discussing how twitch revenue works! I’ll link it here: ua-cam.com/video/kY6eCn26Vbc/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any other questions :D
I hope you're feeling good about your exams. I'm sure you smashed them. As a small creator, working my way back to monetization, (I've been here 15 years, so I was monetized before they changed the minimum requirements), I love it when creators talk about their earnings on UA-cam. It helps me to know more about how CPM works and what different categories pay more/less. So sincerely, thank you for this info!
Great video. I still remember my first youtube paycheck. I was so proud of myself. If it wasn't for my consistency (and a little bit of Famegrowers), I wouldn't have made anything.
The algorithm is in your favour. This video popped up on my UA-cam front page. Thank you for sharing the details of the top videos. Quite interesting to see (and I almost understand less now 😆) how it all works. Subscribed, love your content, bout to binge watch! Thank you 😊
You're the first youtuber who has actually told me anything factually about money on UA-cam! I will support you and like every video from now to until the end of Eternity for your honesty. :D So how about some recipe videos or a week on keto? :D xxx
I really wish you got more views and engagement. I've recommended you to almost everyone I know cause you're videos are so interesting and entertaining, just keep up the amazing work. You're such a cool person!
It’s wonderful to feel gratitude and pay it forward but I think you earned those views and revenue. You’re providing quality content that people enjoy.
Thank you for being candid in this discussion! These are important things to consider for some people who are thinking of entering the time commitment to starting a channel. It's legitimate work but it can be scary when you don't see tangible amounts of potential earning. I know there is a whole part of YT about how to make money on YT, but it's nice to see your favourite YTers talking about it too 🙂
Wow so interesting! I didn’t find you via any of the videos you mentioned. I think it was the ones where you bought a bunch of clothes online, which isn’t something I usually watch. I subscribed because I just like your sense of humour and your obvious generosity and kindness. Just post whatever you like and I’ll happily watch it! Thanks for creating and sharing!
Very interesting! I often think about doing UA-cam. Not for the pay, but because I love the creative outlet. HOWEVER I don't know anything about the filming lighting editing end of it. I would most likely be doing crafting and life blogging, but I heard once that UA-cam doesn't like when you jump around content. Idk if that's true or not. But thanks for this video! If you are thinking what else you can do to make this into a series, lighting filming and editing are topics I'm interested in! Love ya girlfriend!
Editing is fun to learn, and filming is pretty much just press record and go! It’s definitely a process, but if you give yourself the space to improve - you will improve every video. I highly recommend it as a creative outlet!! Just don’t get caught up in the numbers of it all ❤️❤️
From the videos I've watched on it, most of that info is free on UA-cam already. But! What a lot of UA-camrs seem to agree on is that the first few videos are learning experiences and rarely any good. Starting from the beginning is the most freedom you have. Start recording and learn as you go! 🥰
You should definitely do it! I thought the same thing! So far I’ve only made 3 videos. They’re nothing special. I do all the filming and editing on my phone. But it is SO much fun! I say just go for it! 😁
I don't think anyone is saying everything I have is due to privilege, but having a job that allows me the flexibility I have - and the possibilities and opportunities I have is very much a privilege. A lot of people don't love their job, this makes me incredibly grateful for mine :)
@@missbeaussie my videos usually take 15-24 hours to edit each, but the filming time varies a lot depending on topic. Some are done over days, other weeks or even months. This video actually took 5 hour to film because the first two times I filmed it there were mic issues haha
Glad to see you back, and I hope exams went well! If you make another video like this, I’d be interested to hear how UA-cam Premium subscriptions affects revenue. It seems people often gloss over it or ignore it so I still don’t really understand how much it actually contributes.
I think a lot of creators don’t really mention is because not much of their audience has premium and so it doesn’t really impact them. But creators still make money from premium views, they just get a set amount instead of CPM based revenue!
Waheyy great to see a new Ellbat video!! Hope exams went well, and hope everything's going ok ❤this is a really interesting look into the financial side of UA-cam, I appreciate transparency on the topic but at the same time I respect those who want to maintain their privacy about their money!
@@Ellbat sending much love your way ❤️🌟😊 I just got 1000 subs on my medical education channel, and you're one of the inspirations for starting my channel! I'm still a way to 4000 hours but this video is still super useful for me!!
Thank you for making this information so accessible. I think it's important to see the systems thst fund the Ferraris and Balenciaga. It's also important to note that 7k in a month can be a VERY comfy lifestyle, but it's not 20k nights at bars comfy. It's not 1.5k shoes every week. At least not at first.
Claps 👏🏻 to me! J/K I was there before the IU video. I remember you asking your mum on a sit down video about K Pop years ago. And the lazy day work out 🙃 And, I was like “What is this Korean Pop stuff?” This girl sounds interesting. Cut to years later still here for it. Keep doing you girl 🤗 Thanks being transparent on dollars. Super interesting.
Great video! Always interesting to see these insights. And awesome transparency. I think the only reason why it's so taboo on UA-cam is just coz of the nature of content creator jobs where it's not like a "per hour" type pay or "salaried" at a set mark etc so the numbers will always vary on all sorts of factors.
that's so wild. your hair video is more than i make in a year!! i appreciate the transparency, no one ever talks about how much they make on here, really.
Thank you, that was really interesting. I agree with some other ppl that to me it also seems that you sometimes apologize for things that seems to be more in the land where one normally is told to hold their ground and not to be moved by pushy people. Your promo was absolutely awesomely delivered, very fun work with tone and focus.
I liked that you pointed out the video went viral when your channel was doing the worst. Totally has that- keep going, you can do it!- vibes 😎 Loved this video and congrats on the viral ones!
I really love the transparency. I'm very pro talking about how much you make esp amongst people you work with or people who work on the same platforms. It can really point out inequalities and hold higher ups accountable. I think it's super important to make sure you are getting what you are worth. I also assume if you have a consistent and large channel the cpm is also very high because it's a consistent and large audience.
This was fun and educational. I follow you Twitch whenever I can and sometimes I'll view the video if I arrive late. Speaking of Twitch I love what you did while looking at those crazy rich houses. Speaking of crazy that awful couple with the family channel you showed us. They had so many money issues and their net worth is in the $2 million dollar range. 7 years of exploiting their children and they are only children themselves their first was born when they were both teenagers in high school. They have no sense of reality most couples would be over the moon if their jobs had generated $2,000,000 in seven years. That is an average of $285,714 a year. Most people their age can't afford to buy their first house. Thank you for all of your content.
@@Ellbat Ya know.. complicating things with different usernames was my young 14yroldself's job. In my 30s, I need simplicity and good branding. Also.. I could say the same thing about your username! It's almost as if our names are our brands.
Wow this makes so much sense as to why people do vlogmas and then take Jan off! Love your videos, even enjoyed the finance one 😂 hope you're having a great start to 2022
Thanks for clarifying all this! Between the revenues from the youtube video itself, the sponsoring, twitch, and your clothing brand, you must be making a decent amount! And you deserve every penny! How much do sponsors pay for a plug in your video if you don't mind me asking? Much love to you and keep up the good work!
So many influencers say that they know they're so privileged and so grateful but they don't do anything about it. Elena is the first one I've seen in a very long time (other than the green brothers) actually do something with that privilege
Thank you for being transparent! This is super informative, especially for a beginner UA-camr 🙂 It’s interesting how much interesting there would be for advertisers in the product photography niche… I guess a good amount since there could be ads for cameras and other gear 🤔
I have never thought about how it all works. I do find it interesting that the advertising works. I never notice any kind of advertising. I am either waiting to punch the skip button or just instantly disengaged. A ingrained talent I learned from tv. Do others really watch commercials? Please don't think I am down talking your way of making money at all. I enjoy videos, and appreciate your creativity. I honestly am just surprised that people are in any way influenced by advertising. Thank you for being you and sharing. I always enjoy catching up with you. Anyone who makes us smile is golden and deserves success. You are golden.
Lol, just yesterday was wondering about some of the things you explained in your video😂 Thanks so much for taking the time and enlighten us what's going on behind the scenes of the dark UA-cam-verse 🤣 Out of curiosity, for how long is one of your sponsor videos sponsored?
Just the ad section is sponsored in my videos, I’m only contracted to be sponsored for that one part - but you can get sponsors that cover the entire video length (such as my sex Ed videos which are sponsored entirely by Lelo) ❤️
Just found your channel, thanks for the information. I have been thinking about starting a channel for over a year now, but I haven't the slightest clue what that actually entails.
Just discovered your channel. Really useful, this specific video. As a digimarketing person who is yet to dabble in YT marketing, I have been researching how the algos work. This video is a goldmine. Great introductory information on YT rev and rates. Thank you
My mother would have loved for me to meet a girl like you. You are fun to watch. I like that you are transparent about your being privileged. Keep up the good work. The streaming where we just see you doing homework could get dull after the third hour. So what is the meaning of life?
This is only the 2nd video I came across of yours but you’ve impressed me with your genuineness. Well done and I hope your channel bring you even more success each and every year.
This is a nice behind the scenes of how UA-cam pays for views. How does the revenue work when you start advertising for things like Skillshare and Manscaped? Maybe a video on that subject if you wish to share?
You usually negotiate a rate with the company and set terms in a contract. Most contracts terms attached that mean you aren’t allowed to discuss aspects of the deal publicly (things like cost, specific advertising points etc), and so I’m not really allowed to share much! But I am really grateful for sponsors because they provide income security in an industry that can be a bit uncertain at times!! X
Good for you making $$ doing things out there :) YouTb takes a big chunk and creators get some too, I don't get the math of it but no need to stress over things as long as it keeps coming in. Side note, maybe a Mic stand to mount that big black knob down and not waving all over so much as it is pretty distracting ;)
First of all, love you Ell❤ Just love watching you being you exploring almost everything.😂🎉 My question is something only you can answer as a UA-camr considering the uniquely innovative and dissociated niches you pick on a single channel. Im inspired to do something similar talking about random niches I’m passionate about since I can’t figure out a single one I have expertise in 😅 Since it’s quite opposite of the idea of mastering a niche on a unique channel (almost all the other UA-camrs I have come across have hyper-focused channels. If they want to do something different they make another account and that is almost always in line with the first channel), I’m confused whether it’s the right way to go about it. Hope you answer 🎉
I think your hair video was the first video I watched! I'm so glad that it showed up in my feed 😊 Also, I liked your trading stocks for a day. Although, I thought you would have made more money then you did. I guessed $20+. Thanks for making videos!
The crazy thing of this is watching male You Tubers do similar videos and their RPM is ridiculously higher. Yes many are in different categories but it just goes to show you that money still follows male interests more than women. This would be a great collab to do with some different creators and discuss what the factors are.
I think that location has a huge impact on whether on not the product can be bought in that region. In Europe everything outside the EU has MASSIVE amounts of import taxes, so I rarely shop from the States. And sometimes the products are not even available for European shipping, so it makes no sense when I get adds for things I cannot even buy as much as I would like to (I am looking at you, f*ing Scentbird).
@Ellbat, I love your content, thank you for being so transparent! Super random, I actually referenced your original video about how much you made off of the video about not washing your hair in a peer-reviewed political psychology article "Political Psychology in the Digital (mis)Information age: A Model of News Belief and Sharing" (footnote on page 18).

UA-cam algorithm does not like it when you switch genre for videos. It FYI
It’s true, Ms Bat, you simply do not talk enough about bowls.
Hello, some people are misinterpreting the point I made about creative people being underpaid so I just want to elaborate !!
People within the creative community (freelance artists, designers, editors) are routinely underpaid for their work because there’s very little transparency in the creative industry as most fees are negotiated privately. This means that many have to figure out how much to charge on their own, and don’t often know whether it’s enough or too much. This can lead to huge discrepancies between freelance creatives in terms of fees, with people getting paid massively differing amounts for the same job. This is where a bit of transparency can help everyone earn a fair amount, by sharing fees and commission rates more widely: people can better understand what their labour is worth and be paid fairly.
This can also apply to UA-camrs with brand deals. It’s quite well known that many creators (especially smaller creators) are exploited by brands because the creator doesn’t know what they should be charging. There are also deeper layers to this where we routinely see black creators being paid less than white creators for the same social reach because brand deals are done in private and set rates aren’t established. Creators don’t know what they should be charging unless they have a friend at a similar level to help them navigate it. This is why lots of companies target masses of smaller/growing UA-camrs to promote products: they know that these creators are less likely to know their worth. “Underpaid” is relative, but ultimately it doesn’t matter if a creator is charging $50 or $50,000 - if their advertising space is worth more, they should be paid more.

Whilst no one should complain about getting paid huge amounts for an ad read, and you can’t really argue that $50K is truly “underpaid”: it is still important to recognise that advertisers should be paying consistent and fair rates for the reach that creators offer them.
Hope this helps further explain the point I was making!! 💙
Do you watch the "How Much" guy who tells how much UA-camrs make? Has he done your channel and if so, is he accurate?
Would it be weird if I got this for my dad 😬
I appreciate the transparency. Talking about income, regardless of career, is the only way to hold employers/platforms accountable for inequalities in payroll. I don’t want more of what happened with the Twitch data leak, but if more people could come forward and be candid I think it would help.

Even in the medical cannabis industry, there are often illegal “rules” about not sharing your income with coworkers. Anti-union red flags left and right
Exactly, I will also reveal when my videos goes viral
Good point.
@James Bond Who said anything about sharing income? Read it again, you missed something.
When you mentioned the time of year increasing the amount you get paid, I realized that may be why Vlogmas is a thing, channels are pumping out videos everyday in December leading up to Christmas
100% it’s a factor! People also tend to upload more when school holidays are on because there’s more people around to consume the content! 💙
Thanks Elbat. I’m going to share this with all my students who plan to use their new bachelor’s degree to become UA-camrs. It really was helpful. And don’t feel bad about making your own money. That’s not being privileged; it’s being compensated. Keep it up.

They had so many money issues and their net worth is in the $2 million dollar range. 7 years of exploiting their children and they are only children themselves their first was born when they were both teenagers in high school. They have no sense of reality most couples would be over the moon if their jobs had generated $2,000,000 in seven years. That is an average of $285,714 a year. Most people their age can't afford to buy their first house. Thank you for all of your content.
This definitely had the most entertaining sponsorship "ad" I've ever experienced on UA-cam, so thank you for that. xD
I tried so hard thank u hahahaha
you even make the sponsorships interesting 😂 thank you for all your amazing content! ❤️
You are absolutely hilarious. Giggling my way through isolation with these vids🤣
Ell comes crawling back just before Valentines day she's not getting flowers and chocolates out of me 🤣🤣🤣
Om so happy you’re back, Hope the exams went well!!
Thank u !!!!
13:33 the second she said "God bless you" I sneezed and said "thank you"...😭
This is super insightful. Thank you Ellbat
I love it when people have the same usernames on twitch and UA-cam bc then I can be like 👀 I see u shilo 👀
@@Ellbat Ya know.. complicating things with different usernames was my young 14yroldself's job. In my 30s, I need simplicity and good branding. Also.. I could say the same thing about your username! It's almost as if our names are our brands.
Wow this makes so much sense as to why people do vlogmas and then take Jan off!
Love your videos, even enjoyed the finance one 😂 hope you're having a great start to 2022

Oh, jeez. I've said it before, only dads can make dad jokes!
I mean, I still laughed, I'm only human... but quit stealing our jokes!
Thanks for clarifying all this! Between the revenues from the youtube video itself, the sponsoring, twitch, and your clothing brand, you must be making a decent amount! And you deserve every penny! How much do sponsors pay for a plug in your video if you don't mind me asking?
Much love to you and keep up the good work!
In love with the little paws behind you!!
Isn’t he just the absolute cutest little catto
Good to have a new video again! Missed ya
Missed u too 🥺
So many influencers say that they know they're so privileged and so grateful but they don't do anything about it. Elena is the first one I've seen in a very long time (other than the green brothers) actually do something with that privilege
What is a privilege to you?
I have a hard time trying to understand why she apologizes, it’s so confusing..
Funnily enough, your hair video was what got me watching your channel. It came up in my suggestions lol. I'm so glad it did.
Very informative--I love that you use some of your time and talents to raise money for good causes.
Welcome back! We missed you
I missed u too 🥺
Interesting video. The revenues you have from you videos are fully granted to you. No envy from my side. Keep up the good work!
I hope you're doing okay! Love you
you're so cute !!!! I hope you're good too !
Thank you for giving a master class on this topic! I've been asking myself those questions. Who knew you were the source I needed to turn to you!?
This really gave me a lot of good information on how youtubers really make money
Manscaped should use your intro for their commerical. It's imprinted in my brain now after that awesome intro 🤣🤣🤣 LOVED IT
😭 thank u !! Tryna keep it fun and fruity fresh !! 💗💗
Very interesting. Thanks for speaking so frankly about it.
Thank you for being transparent! This is super informative, especially for a beginner UA-camr 🙂 It’s interesting how much interesting there would be for advertisers in the product photography niche… I guess a good amount since there could be ads for cameras and other gear 🤔
I have never thought about how it all works. I do find it interesting that the advertising works. I never notice any kind of advertising. I am either waiting to punch the skip button or just instantly disengaged. A ingrained talent I learned from tv. Do others really watch commercials? Please don't think I am down talking your way of making money at all. I enjoy videos, and appreciate your creativity. I honestly am just surprised that people are in any way influenced by advertising. Thank you for being you and sharing. I always enjoy catching up with you. Anyone who makes us smile is golden and deserves success. You are golden.
Lol, just yesterday was wondering about some of the things you explained in your video😂 Thanks so much for taking the time and enlighten us what's going on behind the scenes of the dark UA-cam-verse 🤣 Out of curiosity, for how long is one of your sponsor videos sponsored?
Just the ad section is sponsored in my videos, I’m only contracted to be sponsored for that one part - but you can get sponsors that cover the entire video length (such as my sex Ed videos which are sponsored entirely by Lelo) ❤️
Just found your channel, thanks for the information. I have been thinking about starting a channel for over a year now, but I haven't the slightest clue what that actually entails.
Just discovered your channel. Really useful, this specific video. As a digimarketing person who is yet to dabble in YT marketing, I have been researching how the algos work. This video is a goldmine. Great introductory information on YT rev and rates. Thank you
"UA-cam really has a thing for feet." - OMG! I snorted. 🤣🤣
Loved the video, the transparency ps. nice postcard shirt ♡
I SEE YOU WITH THE TWITCH REFERENCE 🥺🥺🥺
My mother would have loved for me to meet a girl like you. You are fun to watch. I like that you are transparent about your being privileged.
Keep up the good work.
The streaming where we just see you doing homework could get dull after the third hour.
So what is the meaning of life?
This is only the 2nd video I came across of yours but you’ve impressed me with your genuineness. Well done and I hope your channel bring you even more success each and every year.
This is a nice behind the scenes of how UA-cam pays for views. How does the revenue work when you start advertising for things like Skillshare and Manscaped? Maybe a video on that subject if you wish to share?
You usually negotiate a rate with the company and set terms in a contract. Most contracts terms attached that mean you aren’t allowed to discuss aspects of the deal publicly (things like cost, specific advertising points etc), and so I’m not really allowed to share much! But I am really grateful for sponsors because they provide income security in an industry that can be a bit uncertain at times!! X
Good for you making $$ doing things out there :) YouTb takes a big chunk and creators get some too, I don't get the math of it but no need to stress over things as long as it keeps coming in. Side note, maybe a Mic stand to mount that big black knob down and not waving all over so much as it is pretty distracting ;)
Great to have you back. I do miss the posh accent when you dont upload.
💙💙
First of all, love you Ell❤
Just love watching you being you exploring almost everything.😂🎉
My question is something only you can answer as a UA-camr considering the uniquely innovative and dissociated niches you pick on a single channel.
Im inspired to do something similar talking about random niches I’m passionate about since I can’t figure out a single one I have expertise in 😅
Since it’s quite opposite of the idea of mastering a niche on a unique channel (almost all the other UA-camrs I have come across have hyper-focused channels. If they want to do something different they make another account and that is almost always in line with the first channel), I’m confused whether it’s the right way to go about it.
Hope you answer 🎉
i just figured out what your painting said after seeing it in several videos. very cool, i love the message
I think your hair video was the first video I watched! I'm so glad that it showed up in my feed 😊 Also, I liked your trading stocks for a day. Although, I thought you would have made more money then you did. I guessed $20+. Thanks for making videos!
This was really interesting, thanks for being transparent!
I’d love to hear your talk on sponsor rates and even what your average performing videos make.
I found your channel through the feet videos, not sure why they popped up in my recommended but they did and I am glad 😀
The definitive is your are intelligent! You will understand international finance!!
The crazy thing of this is watching male You Tubers do similar videos and their RPM is ridiculously higher. Yes many are in different categories but it just goes to show you that money still follows male interests more than women. This would be a great collab to do with some different creators and discuss what the factors are.
I have nothing to say except I hope you get a lot of engagement for this video 💜
I love that your videos are all cool, unique concepts and that you explain everything so well!
This Manscape ad was seriously genuis!!! hahahaha cracked me up! Perfect
Super informative vid. Thanks for sharing!
Thank u for watching !! Appreciate u !!
We've missed you but we understand! My daughter will be going to uni in 2 years!
How is Leah doing?
She’s doing amazing! Thank u so much for asking !! 💙
@@Ellbat she's so brave for documenting her journey and an inspiration for others. Hope you are okay too x
I think that location has a huge impact on whether on not the product can be bought in that region. In Europe everything outside the EU has MASSIVE amounts of import taxes, so I rarely shop from the States. And sometimes the products are not even available for European shipping, so it makes no sense when I get adds for things I cannot even buy as much as I would like to (I am looking at you, f*ing Scentbird).
@Ellbat, I love your content, thank you for being so transparent! Super random, I actually referenced your original video about how much you made off of the video about not washing your hair in a peer-reviewed political psychology article "Political Psychology in the Digital (mis)Information age: A Model of News Belief and Sharing" (footnote on page 18).
Ahahahahahhaahhaha no way
So glad you’re back
appreciate the transparency a lot. Thank you
